Trump seek salvation from evangelicals. Part II.

Mr Trump’s campaign is in need of salvation. Is this a task for the churches, or should they be servants of the gospel, and let Mr Trump work out his own politically salvation if he can?

The most important clue to understanding why Trump has any support at all among “evangelicals”, is that the Republican Party traditionally has strong standing among Christians. 

So strong that many say: We are Republicans, no matter who the candidate is, we must support him!

The Republican Party, some claim is primary a party for the 1 % mega-rich, to ensure laws and taxes benefit them. But that will not earn them many votes, so they must have popular and good issues, like “family values” on the agenda. For many evangelical leaders, abortion and gay marriage, seems to be the most (even only?) important biblical issues on their political agenda. No matter other very legitimate moral questions, like wars, gun laws, unfair treatments of poor people, and current media culture. MEDIA created Trump, as a celebrity from his TV show, and to give him free publicity due to extreme behaviour and vulgarity. Media love it because "circus" entertains the masses.

Abortion laws, its an ongoing major political battle in US between pro-life (strict law against abortion) and pro-choice (abortion laws like in Europe). Republicans mainly support pro-life and Democrats pro-choice. Same-sex marriages is another major issue, and again the Republican Party are more against rights for homosexuals than Democrats who do not want to discriminate.

  Usual Christians concluded that Republican candidates were better on issues like abortion, marriage and family, and religious freedom, while Democratic candidates were better on racial justice, economic justice, and the environment. The Supreme Court appointments are paramount issues for the evangelicals and Trump promises to select only conservative judges that will supports Christian values.

Many conservative evangelicals despise Obama and now Hillary Clinton. They see them as "antiChristians", since as leaders for a multi cultural society they will/can not force a

Christian conservative view on all citizen.

To read the attacks on Obama from some Christian leaders will not build up anyone who believes kindness and understanding should characterize a Christian.

On a 2015 Easter Prayer Breakfast in the White House, President Obama said:

"Where there is injustice we defend the oppressed. Where there is disagreement, we treat each other with compassion and respect. Where there are differences, we find strength in our common humanity, knowing that we are all children of God.” And he makes a reflection that was not in his written speech; On Easter, I do reflect on the fact that as a Christian, I am supposed to love, And I have to say that sometimes when I listen to less-than-loving expressions by Christians, I get concerned," Obama was talking about the Apostle John’s call to love “with actions and in truth” rather than with words. IF you want to know how Obama stands on Christian core values see his  2016 Easter speech here!

That makes headlines among Obama haters like:

President Obama attacked Christians as being "less than loving"!

"Obama Stomps All Over Jesus At Easter Prayer Breakfast!"
Some leaders sent an open letter to the President; demanding he stops attacking Christians and apologizes. 

Who would YOU think would be the ideal candidate for voters who proclaim personal morality as their driving principle?

A man who is faithful to and clearly in love with his wife, who has only been married once, who is a devoted father, who is deeply religious but doesn’t brag about it, who is measured in his language and avoids vulgarity.

The problem for conservative evangelicals is that the politician who fits this description is Barack Obama, but their role model must come from The Republican field, NEVER MIND WHO THIS IS! 
Those who denounced Democrat Bill Clinton for his immoral yesterday has no problem to endorse Republican Trump today.

Mammon rules.

America is not a democratic country, because the rich have a very strong influence. Every important public position, from President to local law enforcement leaders has to been elected, and this purpose needs MONEY - a LOT!

Who can give big money for that? The rich once.

And who will expect to benefit from that investment? The rich once.

Therefore, not at least the Republican party has assured that the mega-rich in America pays less taxes, and whatever favour they need from the government they can more easily get than the common man. Not to mention an “army” of well-paid lobbyist, so they can influence the government in a way that will make them even richer.

No NAV in US as in Norway, that care for ALL. Norwegian citizen who need support due to out of work, sick or a pensioner, will get support, even if alcoholic, drug user, criminal, or just lazy; - NAV will take care of you.

No wonder that a lot of hard-working, low paid, poor, treated unfairly, feel the government do not care for them when they suffer.  It is among them you find Trump's main supporters. They want to send him to Washington to brake up this undemocratic system.

For this group of voters, Trump can as he say; “kill someone, and they will still vote for me!” The more bully and crazy he act the more they support him in hope he will make “hell” for the political establishment. They feel, not without reason, badly treated. But any hope that the Republican Party, suddenly will start care for the “working class” and let the rich contribute, is to hope for a much bigger miracle than Trump to be elected president.

Hillary Clinton.

Hundreds of millions have been used to turn every stone to find any reason for the slogan “crooked Hillary”.  I wonder if any person in history has been more investigated. Still, the biggest "scandal" so fare is her wrong use of an e-mail server. Around 40 books are now in the marked about her, and most of them compete with each other to paint her in black. Not to mention all the conspiracy theories spin around her; she is lesbianism, have deadly sickness, have got people killed, has been unfaithful to Bill, and on and on...

IF we stick to the facts, compared with Trump is she a saint. Numerous biographies have detailed her deep religious belief. She maintained a spiritual relationship with the Reverend Don Jones, the youth pastor in her Methodist church during her childhood in Park Ridge, Illinois, for 20 years.

She carried a Bible while working on the presidential campaigns of 1972 and 1992. She taught Sunday school. She gave sermons about Methodist theology when she was the first lady of Arkansas. She says grace before meals, she has joined prayer groups. When faced with troubles in her marriage, she stuck with her husband rather than seek a divorce. 

Even then some “evangelicals” ridiculed her for not ending her marriage, rather than following the teachings of the Bible on this point. There is nothing to suggest her devotion is shallow, while Trump’s purported faith is an obvious fraud. Still, some Christian leaders advocate that Trump is the best moral choice for president. 

What ARGUMENTS can Christian leaders use, to legitimate Trump as the best presidential candidate?   

Rick Joyner
is well know and respected, even international, for his long standing teaching and prophetic ministry.

Personally, I have been more blessed by his teaching ministry than his more speculate prophetic statement, who are not free from a political Republican bias. Here with Reinhard Bonke on the platform.

One of Joyner evangelical friends is Jim Bakker. Remember Jim and Tammy Bakker, and “Praise The Lord” TV, (PTL club 1876-1987)? He was sentenced to 45 years in prison for defrauding 116,000 PTL followers out of 158 million dollars. In prison Bakker write a book "I Was Wrong", where he confronts the “Faith movement”, that he was a well-known spokesman for. The now 74-year-old pastor served five years of a 45-year sentence and has again a TV ministry  where Joyner has join him. One must admire Jim Bakker to make such a spectacular comeback and Joyner for supporting him. In a program together on “Jim Bakker Today”, Bakker asked:

“Why is the church so boringly uniform?” Joyner replay: In my opinion, it’s because still the evil religious spirit. I’m talking about an evil spirit, a religious spirit right now has more influence in the church than the Holy Spirit does.” A good example of the outspoken Joyner!
 Like Joyner, Bakker is support of Trump. Joyner has probably always been a strong supporter of the Republican party, and speak against Obama, for his “relentless assault on Christianity”. 

Joyner meets with Trump May this year as seen on this unclear photo.

And believe Trump “has given hope to millions of people that there may be real leadership yet to be found in this country...”

But he admits:  “I can appreciate why any Christian would have trouble supporting Trump”, but again ; “Fewer Christians are choosing a candidate based on the candidate’s faith. Rather they decide based on who they think will do the best job confronting the important issues of the time.” (Abortion and homosexual issues?) Joyner is impressed by Trump’s lack of political correctness (PC) and willingness to say what he thinks. 

It's easy to agree with Joyner that one can be “feed up” with PC, where the only certain view on religion, immigration, Muslims, socialism, and so on are correct. If any other opinion, one get the risk of being ridiculed by the mainly liberal media industry.

He think Trump “will resist political pressure and do what is right for the country, instead of for special interests.” To place such a big trust on a man that easily change his opinion and care less for his words, and have shown only “personal interests” in his whole life, I find strange and dangerous. Even Joyner lamented about; “His behaviour, demeanour, and language...immature overreaction to criticism and his tendency to try to bully...Questionable business practices including several bankruptcies”, and the list can easily be longer to show a person that is “obviously not a devout Christian”, to say it kindly.

Still he “can see sound biblical reasons for supporting Trump”

SO HOW DO JOYNER ARGUE FOR THAT?

1. How Jesus pick leaders. 

How many of us would have chosen the ones Jesus picked to be His leaders? Why didn’t He go to the religious conservatives to find the future leaders of His church? Like it or not, the ones He chose were more like Trump than those we tend to esteem. Even the Apostle John, who is now known as the great messenger of love, was so reactionary that he wanted to call down fire from heaven to consume those who disagreed with them. On the night before Jesus was crucified, the disciples argued over who was the greatest. Sounds like Trump to me.

2. Gods support of David after his fall. 

How many of us would continue to support a leader who, after many years of serving and walking with God as a righteous and just leader, had an affair, and even worse, had the husband killed to cover it up? Yet it is said that Israel went astray by following Absalom, who sought to displace David because of his sin. In contrast, God commended Zadok the priest and gave an eternal blessing over his family for being faithful to David in this situation. The Lord knew when He called David that he would fall like this, but He called him anyway.

3. Not any leader is perfect.

And how could God love Jacob like He did? Jacob’s name means “usurper” and he was a devious liar and cheat, but “God loved Jacob.” 

This should not excuse character flaws in leaders, but there will only be One perfect leader. Character is important, but an unrealistic perfectionism can make us incapable of ever choosing a Washington, a Benjamin Franklin, a Lincoln, or a Churchill. Some character traits crucial for church leadership could be a hindrance for civil government leaders. The last person you want in a civil leadership position is one who “turns the other cheek.” As we see in Romans 13, those in civil authority are given the sword “to avenge evil”—they would be disobedient to not use their weapons for this purpose.¨

4. Religious conservatives were the worst enemies of Jesus

The Pharisees were resolutely devoted to the character, and Paul, the “Pharisee of Pharisees,” called himself “blameless.”

However, he was the worst enemy of the church and truth until the Lord struck him blind. The Pharisees were the most devout religious conservatives of the time, yet they were the worst enemies of the Messiah. Consider how they criticized everything He said and did and ultimately were responsible for having Him crucified. Think about how much grace and mercy the Lord had for sinners and how little tolerance He had for the self-righteous.

5. Even prophets can be wrong.

That being said, even some of the great prophets in

Scripture, like Samuel, had a hard time judging people after their heart rather than their appearance. It is hard to even for prophets to see people as they are called to be rather than as they are, but that is what we must seek to do. 
THIS IS JOYNERs 5 sound biblical reasons for supporting Trump, in his own words.

Its is interesting biblical arguments that are worth consideration. But one IMPORTANT difference between the disciples, Jacob and David and Trump, is that they were able to REPENT in a wonderful way, and God bless them for that!

But for “evangelical conservative Christians” who have certain moral issues on top of their political agenda, who want, like Muslims, laws that force the moral codes they favour, on all other citizens. Is not that politic the Pharisee way?

And one did not need to go to the Old Testament to find sound biblical reasons for NOT supporting Trump. Let me just suggest one from NT:

Now the works of the flesh are obvious: ...hatreds, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions, envy...Gal.5,19-21 

No need to provide any interpretations here.

I say as Joyner: Sounds like Trump to me.

AND if one as Joyner seems to believe that Trump now is a newfound defender of Christianity then considers this Scripture:

“If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, . . . he must not be a recent convert or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil” (I Timothy 3:1, 3:6).

Not all evangelical support Trump.

Peter Wehner, senior fellow at the conservative think tank, Ethics and Public Policy Center, writes in National Review that Falwell jr. is "damaging Christian witness" by supporting Trump. (Se about Falwell jr. in blog I)

Wehner says: "For those of us of the Christian faith, the fact that Falwell is viewed by many as an Evangelical leader makes it that much worse. We have been pained by the harm that a previous generation did to Christian public witness because of partisan, reckless, and graceless comments. Now we have this."

Michael Farris

The well know lawyer and Henry College Chancellor, attended the first meeting of the Rev. Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority in 1980, who brought together Republican under the premise that "only candidates that reflected a biblical worldview and good character would gain our support. He was the Washington state director of the Moral Majority, and have been a leader of the "Christian right" ever since 1980 when he believed that Christians could dramatically influence politics.

-Today, we see politics fully influencing a thousand Christian leaders, he say after the meeting of “evangelicals” in trump Tower, NY. (See blog I) 

-While I don't question the motives of those who are trekking to the Tower, I strongly dissent from the wisdom of their chosen path," and he added; “This is a day of mourning. Today, a candidate whose worldview is greed and whose god is his appetites (Phil. 3) is being tacitly endorsed by this throng," he wrote. "They are saying we are Republicans no matter what the candidate believes and no matter how vile and unrepentant his character. They are not a phalanx of God's prophets confronting a wicked leader, this is a parade of elephants.

In 1980 I believed that Christians could dramatically influence politics. Today, we see politics fully influencing a thousand Christian leaders.

He declared that Donald Trump's "conversation" with evangelical faith leaders signaled The End of the Christian Right.

Still 70 % Christian in US!

The United States remains home to more Christians than any other country in the world!

A large majority of Americans – roughly seven-in-ten – continue to identify with some branch of the Christian faith. But the percentage of adults (ages 18 and older) who describe themselves as Christians have dropped by nearly eight percentage points in just seven years, from 78.4% in a survey in 2007 to 70.6% in 2014.

Some Christians feel under siege, from the current political developments in the US when the Democratic Party have had the president.

But what witness will it be for the American public at large, that quite a bit evangelicals gleefully touts morality as the foundation of all policy while happily turning a blind eye to the behaviour that violates the same morality they are preaching? And what effect on the common man has the the hateful language some used in the name of Christianity?

And what will a president like Donald Trump

Your FIRED!

be as a Moral compass and role model for the whole nation, and as a world leader? That is worth considering for the evangelicals who still work to save Trumps total unpredictable political ambitions.

Its almost so one wanted Trump to be President, so all can see "the emperor without clothes". 

As one biographer sums up: the closer you look, the less there is. Less money, less substance, less meaning.

Donald Trump seek salvation from evangelicals.

It is with great amazement I notice that Christians leaders endorse Trump and even see him as a man sent from God to save America and prophesy he will be the next president.

White evangelical Christians favor Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton by a margin of 55 percentage points, according to a poll done by Fox News.

U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump addresses The Faith and Freedom Coalition's "Road To Majority" conference in Washington, U.S., June 10, 2016.

Among Christian leaders who have backed Trump is the president of Liberty University, Jerry Falwell Jr, who compared Trump to Winston Churchill!  

He was among almost 1,000 prominent evangelicals leaders convened by the organizations “United in Purpose” and “My Faith Votes”, who recently was making a pilgrimage to Trump Tower to "listen" to Donald.       He proudly twitted this photo, with Trump between him and his wife, and a Playboy Cover of the host, at right of her! 

Its clear that Trump is seeking political salvation from evangelical leaders weeks before election and he even announces that he has got an "Evangelical Advicer Board".

Among the few women in the “Advisory Board” was evangelist Paula White, who knows Trump from earlier meetings. She attended also the meeting in New York. James Dobson, another Trump “Advicer” and the past president of “Focus on the Family”, said publicly that he had recently heard that Paula  “personally led Trump to Christ”, but later when he was asked about details, he was not sure what had happened...

In the meeting Paula White lay hands on Trump and pray: 

“Father, we just secure him right now by the blood of Jesus. We thank you that no weapon formed against him would prosper, and any tongue that rises against him would be condemned, according to the word of God,”  

Pastor Robert Jeffress on the stage with Trump. 

Jeffress is the leader of the influential 12,000-member First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas. He is in the same “Advisory Board”. - If you do not vote for Trump, he declare to The Christian Post: "I think the Bible has a word for people like that — it's fools,". 

He compare Obama with Antichrist: "For the first time in history a president of our country has openly proposed altering one of society’s (not to mention God’s) most fundamental laws: that marriage should be between a man and a woman. While I am not suggesting that President Obama is the Antichrist, the fact that he was able to propose such a sweeping change in God’s law and still win reelection by a comfortable margin illustrates how a future world leader will be able to oppose God’s laws without any repercussions."

But another Baptist pastor, outgoing Southern Baptist Convention President Ronnie Floyd 

say after meeting with Trump, that faithfulness to the gospel was a priority, and therefore he will not endorse him. He visit Donald in this board room and calling Trump out on his sins and demanding repentance! That was not a seed falling into “ good ground”, and Trump in one of his many infamously angry twitters respond:

Trump:"Ya know what Tiny Ronnie? You're fired. How stupid can you be, coming into my board room telling me about sin and repentance? I think you're a very, very ineffective pastor. In fact, you're all fired. All 15 of you televangelists. Go home. Go fleece some more grannies for 'seed money'. Get out."

He has declared that he never asked God for forgiveness because he could handle things himself.  It should be interesting to know what the “televangelists” that support Trump think about this attitude... No “seed money” from the self proclaimed billionaire!

And it seams that Trump who do not like big "fat ladies”, do not like a “Tiny man” either...

An eye for an eye.

Is well known, that Trump’s connection to evangelical beliefs is weak, at best.

He has never before expressed any serious connection to the Bible or even a basic understanding of it. He call one of his own book “the best in the world”. After being presidential candidates he claim that “the Bible is my favourite book”, but he was not able to cite his favourite verse. Some months later he came up with “an eye for an eye” from Exodus 2, as his favourite Bible quote!?

Trumps Church

He has made occasional holiday appearances at the Marble Collegiate Church in Manhattan. Marble earned fame because of its half-century of leadership by

Norman Vincent Peale, known best for blending pop psychology with spirituality in a form of Christianity center on the self. As a child, Trump toddled along with his family to Peale’s sermons, hearing such messages as the one that opens the pastor’s best-selling book The Power of Positive Thinking: “Believe in yourself!” He clearly learned that one.

Or as Jeb Bush stated during the primaries; Trump has never cared about anyone other than himself. Since he has made a career out of an egotism without borders, he has no problem to brag about himself like a child in the kindergarten: ”I have a big brain.” “I advise myself.” “I am very, very rich,” and on and on...

Defender of the Christian faith?

Due to his inability to tolerate criticism, vindictiveness toward his opponents, his bullying and public insults, and his inappropriate and offensive public rhetoric, psychologist has diagnosis him with “a narcissistic personality disorder”. A personality “characterise by exaggerated feelings of self-importance, an excessive need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others.” 

Trump is known to be;  unstable, obsessive, vindictive, narcissistic, and cruel. A person who crass insults enemies in every shape and form. Hungry for money, praise, and celebrity and therefor ruthless and single-minded pursuit profit, and lack interest in anything beyond power and money. For a more comprehensive mental analysis, read: Profile Of A Sociopath

Proven dishonesty.

It will be interesting to ask Trump what of the Ten Commandments, he favour?

Clearly, “thou shall not lie” is not one of them.

“It’s a lie, but who cares? ”, is a phrase he loved, a biographer of Trump revealed.

PolitiFact named Trump the winner of its annual “Lie of the Year” Award in 2015 - a competition which PolitiFact said “was not even close,” unquestionably in reference to the fact that it rated 72% of Trump’s public remarks about factual circumstances as false. 

He is regard as a serial and compulsive (pathological) liar. 
Even a extensive web page is only about Trump a liar!

It has been proven that he lies under oath in several court cases. Donald Trump is Named in at Least 169 Federal ongoing Lawsuits, and is famous for seeking revenge against anyone who opposes him by suing them in court.

The New York Times published an investigation about his business dealings and discovered, that Trump was a defendant in literally thousands of law suits, primarily brought by service providers and vendors whom he failed to pay for services rendered to him. His dishonesty in his business dealings is shocking and unprecedented for a presidential candidate.

Scandalous behaviour. To describe all of Trumps documented scandals will take several book. This link summarise more than a dozen of them:  
Trumps worst scandals.
Some days ago he twitter, around 5  in the morning, about Miss Universe and her alleged sex tape,  - a presidential candidate!? 

But he has no problem to  call himself: the greatest representative of the Christians!

Trump has no problem to sell himself as a defender of America Christianity, and told CBN’s David Brody:

The Christians are being treated horribly because we have nobody to represent the Christians. Believe me, if I win, I will be the greatest representative of the Christians they’ve had in a long time.

Consider the fact I have briefly mention above; 
A less able presidential candidate to be “the greatest representative of the Christians” is hard to imagine.  
HOW can evangelicals think that his sudden support for Christianity is anything else that a transparent attempt to bamboozle the faithful?

But not so. Many Christians support Trump so he can lead the US to his political "promised land".

In the next blog, we will look at how/why they argue for Trump, but also how other  Christians see this as great harm to Christian public witness!

Salm 3

Det er ingen frelse for han hos Gud.v3 Det er hva mange sier om meg. Når tilåmed min sønn Absalom kan vende seg mot meg, viser det at jeg ikke lenger er Guds salvede, og de er mange og tallrike som nå slutter seg til mine finender.
Rej. - Men du er godt kjent med hvordan folkemeninger kan svinge, hvordan takler du at folk mener Gud ikke lenger er med deg?
Da jeg ropte høyt til Herren svare han meg.v 5. Jeg vet av erfaring at den desprasjon som ytrer seg om høye rop gir bønnesvar. Det er som Herren selv blir et skjold slik at de angrep jeg blir utsatt for, stopper der. Og mitt i skjellsord og vannære, så kan jeg si til Gud:
 du er min ære, du løfter mitt hode. v.4.  Mitt i uro og forfølgelse gir Gud meg hvile, og jeg kan sove og når jeg våkner så er det med tanken Herren holde meg oppe. v6
Rej. - Hvordan kan du med frimodighet hevde at du ikke er redd selv om 10.000 av dine fiender omringer deg, klar til å ta ditt liv?
- Fordi jeg ikke stoler på egen kraft og styrke, men på at Herren reiser seg, fordi han har hørt min bønn om FRELSE, Hos Herren er det frelse, v9, det er min livserfaring.
Rej. Men hva sier du til alle som bare ser problem, motstand og kaos, og selv er du på flukt forfulgt av din nærmeste?
Jeg sier løfter mine hender mot den flokken som vil stå for Guds sak fremme og sier:
La din signing hvile over ditt folk.v9  Så lenge det er et folk under Guds velsignelse er det en vei videre frem uansett omstendigheter, sier David.

Verden er ikke rettferdig!

Da jeg var hjelpearbeider i Afrika hørte jeg om Juliet fra Uganda som jobbet som hushjelp og barnepasser i Kenya i minst 12 timer i døgnet, vanligvis uten fridager, for ca kr 500,- pr mnd. Mesteparten av dette sendt hun til sin bror så i alle fall han kunne få en utdannelse.

Juliet fra Uganda

Da jeg møtte henne hadde hun ikke fått betalt de siste 3 måneder og en dag fant hun sine ting på trappa. Den enslige mor hun jobbet for hadde flyttet uten at noen visste hvor. Bare ett eksempel på hardtarbeidene, uselviske personer, som jeg setter langt høyere enn meg selv, som tvinges til å leve under de mest kummerlig og urettferdige forhold. De lever på en helt annen klode enn vår. Knapt i våre tanker, der vi sitter i godstolen som innbyggere i et av verdens beste «velferds samfunn» og ser meningsløse plastikk lysshow på TV. Så ja, denne verden er langt fra rettferdig.

Hundrevis av millioner

ville stråle av takknemlighet og lykke, fikk de bare en liten prosent av hva vi kan få fra NAV, om de var arbeidsløse eller syke, eller få gratis sykepleie og mulighet til utdannelse.

Det er millioners uoppnåelige drøm, Hvordan kan storparten av disse skaffe tilveie mellom 50-100.000 kroner pr person som i disse dager gjør menneskesmugling til en milliard industri, fordi de selger snarveien til Europa?

Men noen makter det, og drar til Nord Afrika for båtreise til Italia. Eller de drar via Tyrkia for båtreise til Hellas. Det er titalls millioner av fattige, undertrykte, hardtarbeidene, som slaver under grov urettferdighet ikke minst takket være søkkrike korrupte «politiker», og det finnes millioner som lider under grove overgrep, mister jobb, hus og familie medlemmer på grunn av krig, da særlig i muslimske land.

Deres maga rike naboer og muslimske brødre, som kan bruke ufattelige milliarder på fotball VM, men ikke villig til å hjelpe eller åpne sine grenser for sine trosfeller Det er de fattige naboer som har liten militær makt til å holde dem bort, som Libanon og Jordan som må huse flyktninger fra krigsområdene som omgir dem.

At også disse lengter til Europa som de hører mye godt om via TV og bekjente, er mer en forståelig, men hvem av disse kan betale hva smuglings bandene krever?

Etter Tyskland erklærte at alle flyktninger er velkommen om de bruker smugler rutene, vet vi at noen hundre tusen kunne ta  turen nordover via Tyrkia og Øst-Europa.

Når jeg en enkel mann ser på hvordan EU opptrer

i forhold til millionene som så gjerne og så forståelig vil ha del i den velstand, sikkerhet og utviklings mulighet som Europa gir, så er med stigende undring man ser forskjells behandlingen. 

Det er ikke fremsyn, planlegging, fornuft, likhet for loven og hensyn til de svake, som råder. Men forvirring, handlings lammelse, følelser og press grupper som setter agendaen. Ikke minst media, som pisker opp skiftende folke stemninger med dramatiske flyktning reportasjer som politiker må lytte til.

Noen enkle punkter som viser hvordan uretten og lovløshet rår:

1. Om du betaler 5.000 kroner med fly for å komme til Europa, så blir du sent tilbake om du kommer uten pass og visa. Det er ulovlig!
2. Men betaler du menneskesmuglere 50.000, og gjør livsfarlige sjøfarter, så hilses man  velkommen med mulighet til å få permanent opphold som asyl søker. Det er lovlig!
3. Får du ikke asyl er det flere andre muligheter man kan forsøke, for å bli i Europa. Det er lovlig.
4. Alle som kommer uten visa registreres i det første Europeiske land de kommer til. Det er loven. Men makter ikke land som Italia og Hellas dette, grunnet den stor tilstrømning av migranter til disse land , så er det ulovlig.  EU lover som Schengenavtalen og Dublinavtalen, er det ulik praktisering av.
5. Smuglerne anbefaler sine kunder å kaste ID papirer, da er muligheten for asyl større. Det er lovlig. Noe som påfører innvandrings myndighetene en tidkrevende og nesten umulig oppgave om de ønsker å avklare om de «asyl grunner» som hevdes er riktige. 
6. For de som kan Investerer store penger for et bedre liv i Europa, gjøres ikke dette uten kunnskap om hva man skal si som grunn for sin asyl søknad, og om hvilke land som har de beste velferds otdninger. Slekt og venner som alt er i Europa eller «kurser» fra menneskesmuglere, gir klar beskjed om hva som skal sies, for å få opphold. Det er lovlig.
7. Så når EU og FN i prinsippet hevder at «asylsøkere» må ønskes velkommen, og at de trenges for å opprettholde arbeidslivet. Så er dette et «bare kom» signal til millionene som vil bedre sin livssituasjon. 
8. Når f.eks Polen og Ungarn nekter de å dra videre som ikke etter loven vil la seg registrere, så følger de loven, eller lar de dem drar videre til et bedre velferds land, så er det også lovlig, sier EU.
9. Da for noen år tibake hvor titusener daglig kom via Tyrkia og Øst-Europa til Tyskland, måtte Merkel gjøre 180 graders helomvending, og stenge grensen, titusener som tok imot innbydelse ble sittende fast nede i Hellas, og Tyrkia. Det var lovlig.

Dette som nå har utviklet seg til et stort og alvorlig problem også for Skandinavia for mange vil til Nord Europa, som de vet har de gunstigste velferds ordninger, har gjort EU

rådløse, for ved en forbausende lov/lovløshet politikk har de latt dette utvikle seg til et stor og komplisert problem.  VG: Dette er flyktning krisen!

En mer rettferdig løsning.

Jeg erkjenner å være en enkel, naiv, ikke politiker, med langt fler kunnskaps hull enn selv Jagland.

Så kan bare se en noenlunde rettferdig løsning for de som søker asyl:

En kontrollert LOVLIG, ordnet innvandring med integrasjon i fokus til beste både for innvandrere og mottagerland.

1. Europa stenger for ulovlig innvandring, slik de alt HAR GJORT når det gjelder de som kommer med fly uten visa. Om noen kommer på ulovlig vis skal det ikke belønnes. Menneskesmuglere vil da miste business, og ingen dør lengere grunnet deres skamløse lissom båter.
2. Flyktninger og asyl søker må få plass i leire som verdenssamfunnet (FN) har ansvar for. Rike land hjelper til å finansiere etter evne så disse får bo mulighet, mat og utdannelse til unge. Dette mens man arbeider for fred i deres hjemland så de forhåpentlig kan vende tilbake, slik alle er mest tjent med.
3. De ulike land i Europa og andre land som har behov for innvandring, drar til disse leire med fagfolk, som velger ut de som mest trenger hjelp, og som har rimelig mulighet til å integreres i det land som ønsker dem velkommen. VG: Integrering i fokus ved utvalg av flyktninger! Ikke garantert rettferdig, men langt større mulighet for det enn de hensynsløse krefter som utnytter den lovløshet som rår i EU.
4. De som på den måte får asyl alt før de kommer, vil gi mye bedre resultat når det gjelder integrering, enn de som med ulike motiver, betaler seg inn i Europa  Aftenposten: Betaler milliarder for å komme til Norge.

Hvilke krefter er det som ønsker en uryddig, ut av kontroll folkevandring til Europa, styrt ikke av EU lover, men av styrtrike menneskesmuglere?

Er det først og fremst de som har mulighet til å betale flere årslønner i de land de kommer fra, som skal hilses velkommen? Vi vet de ikke kommer fra dyp fattigdom, ellers hadde de ikke kunne finansiere denne dyre inngangs billetten til Europa.

Media som løper som vanlig i flokk, de lever av «drama fokusering», og fokuserer på hjerteskjærende, barn og mødre i nød situasjoner. Det har skapt rene "fest stemningen"og får folk til å

stille opp med «Velkommen» plakater  til de som når målet for smugler rutene. Kjendiser av ymse slag står frem med appeller om at nå må vi hjelpe... - «Folkefestfolket» tenker ikke på at det er problematisk at så mange er her uten å være registrert. Oversikten er jo helt borte akkurat nå, sa forfatter Ingvar Ambjørnsen som bor i Tysklkand til VG.

Er ikke virkeligheten i Norge at det er begrenset hvor mange som kan godt integrere i en lite befolkning? Alle mener at integrering er helt avgjørende.
Hvorfor presser noen da på for øke antall innvandrere vi vet kan resultere i en overbelastning som kan skape uoversiktlige og alvorlige problem? Hvilke alvorlig sosiale og økonomiske konsekvenser det kan få behøver vi ikke spekulere om, det ser vi tragiske eksempler på i Europa, og i vårt eget land.

Det er selvsagt ulike motiver for at man er i mot den delvis ut av kontroll innvandring til Europa som pågår. Det kan være både selviskhet, fremmedfrykt og det som verre er. Men det må være lov å mene at en ukontrolert innvandring ikke er til beste for alle parter. uten å bli beskylt for  å være egoister som vil nekte nødlidende krigstrette flyktninger del i vår Europeiske overflod. Man kan da stemples ikke bare som hjerteløse, men som fascist, nazist eller rasist.

Islamofobi.

Ser man fare momenter om andelen av muhamedanere blir for stor, har man islamofobi. Jeg har gjennom mangeårige nødhjelps arbeide i Sudan, sett gode, trofaste, ærlig og flotte muslimer, som overgår mange kristne i sin etikk og uselviskhet. Men det er åpenbart to helt forskjellige måter å lese og praktisere Koranen på.

Dette demonstreres av muslimer som kan vise en grenseløs ondskap,  legitimere med at de kjemper for Allah og Muhammed. Slike har ingen interesse av integrering, de proklamere åpent at deres mål er ved vold og død, å tvinge andre å leve under deres lov. Noen mener at det er 10-20 %   «radikale muslimer» som sympatisere med slike holdinger. Det er en avgrunn mellom disse og de som har tatt til seg de gode sider av den muslimske religion.

Demonstrasjoner i England

 De som i naiv toleranse ikke vil innse denne åpenbare virkelighet, er som de som lukket øyene for nazismen i sin tid, for de var jo bare «forskrudde radikalere». Derfor kunne denne lille gruppe, ta makten og legge Europa i ruiner.

Nord Europa som magnet.

Det er helt naturlig at vi mennesker søker seg dit hvor fordelene og gode er størst.

Og at menneskesmuglere har tegnet glansbilder av hvor bra man vil få det, ser vi eksempler på når migranter nekter å gå av bussen fordi de ikke liker boligen de blir tilbudt.  Svensk TV: De syntes tilbudet var for dårlig,  Eller dama som klaget på Dagsreyen at hun måtte vente i hele to timer på mat... Er dette folk som flyr for sitt liv? Eller er det tegn på at man har brukt store summer i troen på å komme til dekket bord livet ut? De hadde kanskje opphold i Tyrkia, eller kunne få det i Øst-Europa, men de vil til Nord-Europa, vi ville vel ønsket det samme i deres situasjon.

Men om godene blir så mange, at språk, utdannelse, arbeid, kort sagt integrering, - ikke fremstår som noe viktig, og om man oppmuntres til å kreve mer enn til å bidra, er det naiv «snillisme».

Jeg gleder meg over det mangfold av innvandrere vi har i min hjemby Skien, og under f.eks, Matfestivalr så er det med stolthet og glede de byr oss retter fra sine hjemland. Jeg tror at flesteparten av dem er en berikelse for byen. Uten innvandrere stopper mye bra opp i Norge, vi trenger dem!

Grunnvollen for verferd.

Men når innvandringer blir større enn det er mulig å håndtere. Da må nye landsmenn sitte passive i asylmottak i måned og årevis. Der de får husly, mat og andre behov betalt av staten, uten at de får lov eller blir bedt om å bidra tilbake. Da blir overgangen stor, når man flyttes ut i en kommune og skal bidra aktivt i fellesskapet, og kanskje ikke engang har lært seg litt norsk.

I USA som har lang erfaring med å ta imot innvandre fra alle verdens hjørner, er det slik at dersom du ikke «integrerer deg selv», i form av språk, utdannelse og arbeid, så blir det bokstavlig talt en fattig tilværelse. Er det derfor innvandrer grupper som gjør det dårlig Norge, gjør det skarpt i USA? Vi har et «velferdsamfunn» som har mange gode sider, bygget på at alle må  bidra etter evne til felles goder, hvor etikk og arbeids moral er grunnvollen. Forvitrer dette fundamentet, vil velferds ytelsene overbelastes, og kommende generasjoner må betale regningen. Men største belastning vil være om integrering kommer ut av kontroll, og egne kulturer dannes, og slagordet om «multi kultur» viser seg meningsløs, i et splittet samfunn i strid med seg selv.

Hva ville Jesus har gjort?

Det brukes mot kristne som stiller spørsmål på måte migrasjon skjer på i dagens EUROPA. Vel, det er mye å si om det. Men kan ikke tenke meg at Han vil prioritere de som betaler seg først i køen av asyltrengende, fremfor millionene som ikke har mulighet for det.

Verden er urettferdig! Men jeg vil ikke heie på dem som gjør den enda mer så!
